 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hammer Safety Warnings
 Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
 Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
Additional Safety and Working In-
structions
 Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
source must correspond with the data on the type plate
of the machine.
 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to ex-
plosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
 Firmly tighten the auxiliary handle, hold the machine
firmly with both hands while working and keep proper
footing and balance at all times. The machine is securely
guided with both hands.
 Select the correct operating mode and the suitable ap-
plication tool for the material to be worked.
 Insert the SDS-max application tool: Check the latching
by pulling the tool.
 Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the penetration of
drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When in-
serting the tool, pay attention that the dust protection cap
is not damaged.
Bosch Power Tools
 Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-
piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
 Before switching on the power tool, make sure that the
application tool moves freely. When switching on with a
blocked drilling tool, high torque reaction can occur.
 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using
it.
 Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
 Restarting Protection
In chiselling mode, the restarting protection prevents un-
controlled starting of the machine after a power failure.
– To restart the operation, switch the On/Off switch to
the Off position and start the machine again.
Vibration Damper (GBH 8-45 DV)
The integrated vibration damper reduces occurring vibra-
tions.
